Description

One of the South Fork's rare & legendary Alex Lowe classics. A must do if it's in. Crux is the conditions dependent first pitch which can be found poorly bonded to the rock, with air behind it. With rising temps this can quickly delaminate. Best to solo or place sparse protection if you're getting hollow drum sounds. If you can get through to the ledge you should be home free in good temps/conditions.

Location

Just left of Natural Immunity & The Moratorium. When formed it will be the obvious center flow between The One Hitter and Mo when looking at main Lower Bench wall from the valley floor.
